Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot computer from Linux CD
2.Install on second FAT32 partition (first being WindowsME)
3.Begin install.  After several minutes I get a message that says I should 
report the following to this website because it might be a bug.  The 
screen is frozen at this point and I can't scroll down to see the last 
couple of lines.  Messages are below.
	

Actual Results:  Traceback (innermost last)

20, in run

rc = self.todo.doinstall()

File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anacondatodo.py", line 1469 in 
doinstall

self.fstab.makeFileSystems()

makeFilesystems

(self.progressWindo,_("Loopback"),

File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 78, in ddfile

Additional info:There are at least two more lines of errors but the screen 
freezes at this point and I cannot scroll to read the lines nor use 
the "Ssave the message to floppy".
